I have used this widget from Beautiful Widgets for the past few years. Currently the time isn't auto updating on the N20, despite changing the settings.
Are there any similar or better apps or widgets to this? Specifically I need something that I can customise it and add shortcuts to several apps.
Cheers
Also looking for a Beautiful Widgets-comparable replacement app.

Try whitelisting the app in the battery settings. If you have power mode on, it might be hindering the update. I had a similar issue with different app and this helped.

Yeah, second this right here. Completely customizable, love it. Lot like that older app, UCCW. You can make something super simple, or extremely complex. Up to you. I'd share my homescreen widget if Tapatalk would let me upload a dang image.

Yea I tried whitelisting it under the battery and memory settings. Widget still only updates when I first unlock my phone, if I resize the widget, or if I open the BW app. The developer explicitly says that the app is not meant to work with newer versions of Android but they're not providing support any longer

Smooth calendar or grid cagebdar are neat. 3g watchdog (monitors your data usage) and apn Droid (disables and enables 3g data) are both useful if your data plan isn't unlimited. And genie widget is also quite good and has a nice app to go with it (news add weather) though you'll have to Google that one as it isn't on the market.
any suggestions for Messeage widget?Mail Widget? and Photo album widget?

Try Pure Messenger for the message/mail/texts
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a widget collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject? this is not the oldest thread on the subject, but the one with the most generic subject and maybe it could be turned into the last of it's kind...

I like the Ted Zkeletal clock widget, it's a nice change. It is quite large though.

you download from the market, then add the widget by long pressing the screen? of course you need to have sufficient space for it.
What version did you use? I just download 1.8 and the weather icon doesn't show up....

You're the first user of Android? HOLY CRAP!
I just figured out I can make folders on my gsll phone in the app menu. (Not the home screens) I can put all the carrier BS and other app icons I don't want to see in there. It brought my app screens to 3 swipes from 5. Is that a standard Android feature or something Samsung added in with touchwiz? I would be interested in doing the same on my tablet.
That sounds like a Samsung Touchwiz feature. As far as I know, stock app drawer does not support folders/dedicated pages.
However, you can simply get a non-stock launcher such as Apex or Nova and they support app drawer folders, plus a multitude of extra features lacking in the stock launcher

That is possible, just use a third party launcher. I think nova has is
OK cool. I will check out those programs. I figured one of those would do the trick but wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thanks!

I've never used third party launchers myself, since I think that the stock launcher on the Infinity is rather cool
This is mLauncher It's built for the nexus player and may work on other androidTV products. It lists all your apps including your sideloaded ones. Only has a couple features but here they are:
Display all your apps, set wallpaper, reboot, power off.
update: 2/28/16
changed the ui a little
DECREASED APP SIZE BY SEVERAL MBS!!!!!!
fixed the built in wallpaper switcher so that it displays all pictures in /sdcard/Pictures
Things to note:
Reboot and power off require root (Why haven't you done it yet?).
For the wallpapers function to work you have to sideload a wallpapers app on your NP.
To open quick settings press play on the remote Y on the game pad.
update 8/23/15
changed ui a little
added clock
fixed settings issue
Isn't it unnecessary to have a power off function on the Nexus Player? If it's an actual shut down rather than a sleep mode, then it would require the user to unplug power from their device and plug it back in before it could be used again.
I've got mine hooked up to a light switch so when I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to get up it works great. Next day just flip the switch. I was experimenting with deep sleep but the way the stock Rom is set up to get it to work you have to remove daydream from the system and it takes a minute. I think on cm12 it would work. I could add the feature pretty easily. I was gonna add a shortcut to overscan and fix a small issue this week. Just let me know I'll put it in there.

No I mean wallpapers period unless I'm missing something there aren't any native apps that run regular wallpapers. Haven't tried live wallpapers yet.

Here's a beta release that fixes an issue I've been having with the app list not updating when you uninstall or install an app. It's a pretty dirty hack but seems to work okay. Remember this is beta and I'll be looking at different ways to implement it. So if your uninstalling and installing apps a lot give it a shot but if not pass on this.
update removed link since it's in the updated apk

Beta release
Here's a beta release with new sleep function. It requires root access click it and screen goes into deep sleep. There's another way to do this without root but it requires you to change backdrop to none and it takes 10 seconds. Not very functional in my book. Everything else is working great. Thanks
How about live wallpaper support?

If you have marshmallow you'll have to use adb to hide the default launcher

Hey guys.
I used to mod the ViPER4Android apk to include a widget that allows for quick changing/selection of the currently applied profile. Seeing as ViPER4Android went to a Chinese company, they are no longer sharing their source code with us. With that said, I went on and made my own app that allows for the widget to still work using root. It also will applied selected profiles with certain Bluetooth devices. IE, I have my Bluetooth in my car set to my "Car" V4A profile. So when my car connects, it automatically applies my car's profile. Same for my Fugoo Bluetooth speaker.
Everything is hard coded so if you don't use the defaults from V4A it prolly won't work.
Let me know of any other issues though.

Love the idea, but I've an ancient Logic X1 with jellybean 4.2.2. The app can't install on such an old platform. Anything I can do to get it to install & function?
Thanks for developing it, regardless. V4A is great & its nice that you did this work.

Hi @elesbb,
Thanks for your work, it's working great.
Just one thing: the widget background is transparent and the profiles are written in black.
My wallpaper is kinda dark so i can't read what is inside the widget.
Can you add a setting to choose background color, please?

This is the latest I have(attached to this post lol) but there will be no further improvements or anything because I can't use Viper4Android on my S7 anymore due to locked bootloaders.
I just came from the note 9 to the OP7 Pro, my deviec is rooted and i have downloaded quick switch from magisk. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get a list view styled recents like the note 9 has? here is a picture for reference https://imgur.com/a/rlSsEFW
I prefer this list style recent screen. If anyone knows how could they let me know?

well i just froze the OP launcher and didn't change anything in nova settings. The apps are on top of each-other kind of view, which I prefer better. The only issue I have now is that the lock button is gone. I run some apps in background for a while, any way I can fix that?
